The article ‘Is geoengineering a bad idea?’, by Karl Mathiesen, is about techniques that could be used to reduce the effects of climate change. The two techniques are, carbon dioxide removal and albedo modification. The first is self-explanatory, remove carbon in the atmosphere and put it underground.

Because I have a massive backyard with multiple acres, and there was snow on the ground, we decided to have a snowball fight at my house.
